Development of Underground Space for Engineering Application

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The exploration and utilization of underground space offer promising solutions to various challenges faced by rapidly growing cities worldwide. From urban planning and infrastructure development to environmental sustainability and disaster resilience, underground space emerges as a versatile resource with immense potential. This Topic welcomes manuscripts that explore original theories, methods, technologies, and applications throughout the life-cycle of underground projects, including planning, design, operation and maintenance, disaster prevention, and demolition.

This Topic invites original research papers and review articles focusing on underground space's latest developments, innovations, and applications in various contexts. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Urban Planning and Infrastructure: Addressing urban congestion and enhancing livability through underground transportation networks, parking facilities, and utilities.
2. Disaster Resilience: Constructing resilient underground structures to withstand earthquakes, floods, and disasters, ensuring urban safety and continuity.
3. Advanced Technologies: Advancing underground space development through innovative construction techniques, materials, and monitoring systems.
4. Tunnels and Mines: Discussing the design, construction, and management of transportation tunnels and mines to improve connectivity and promote sustainable practices.
5. Environmental Sustainability: Mitigating environmental impacts and integrating underground space with ecosystems for harmonious urban-natural coexistence.

We encourage submissions that contribute to a deeper understanding of the development and application of underground space, fostering innovation and collaboration for sustainable urban development.

In this paper, joint precast piles with a cross-section of 400 × 400 mm and a pin-joined connection were considered, and their interaction with the soil of Western Kazakhstan has been analyzed. The following methods were used: assessment of the bearing capacity using the static compression load test (SCLT by ASTM) method, interpretation of the field test data, and the dynamic loading test (DLT) method for driving precast concrete joint piles, including Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA by ASTM) and Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) methods. According to the results, the composite piles tested by the PDA (by ASTM) method differ by 15 percent compared to the static load method, while the difference between the dynamic DLT (by ASTM) method and the static load (by ASTM) method was only 7 percent. So, according to the results, the alternative dynamic method DLT (by ASTM) is very effective and more accurate compared to other existing methods. Full article
